February 11th 2021 - 4p.m. UTC

The SONiC community is being led by Microsoft and many other key players, including Edgecore, to deliver a robust, proven software infrastructure to enable customers to build highly scalable data center networks. Containing proven Layer-2 and Layer-3 protocols, along with a modern micro-services architecture, customers can extend the functionality of SONiC to meet their specific use case.

Edgecore's SONiC solutions are tailored to the needs of today's Data Centers where the ability to rapidly scale out the data center fabrics is a must.

About
This Workshop

SONiC is a free, open source network operating system based on Linux that was developed by Microsoft and the Open Compute Project. It offers a full suite of network functionality, like BGP and RDMA, that has been production-hardened in the data centers of some of the largest cloud-service providers, and allows them to share the same software stack across hardware from different switch vendors.

It is now being widely adopted outside of the hyper-scale datacentre environment due to the ever-increasing feature set, driven by the dedicated SONiC community.

 

Targeted use-cases include:

  1. Scalable L3 Fabric Underlay
  2. Network Fabric Underlay for VMWare® deployments (NSX, ESX, vSAN)
  3. Multi-tenancy with VxLAN & eVPN
